Diet of the World’s Greatest AthletePublished by
Recently I caught up with fellow Texas alum and reigning World Champion in the Decathlon, Trey Hardee. Trey competes in a grueling sport that contests ten different events over a two-day span. Trey’s success didn’t come overnight. The evolution of the “World’s Greatest Athlete” was a constant process. In his early years, Hardee admits, he used to have a pretty poor diet. Nutrition became a big focus and now Hardee states that, “the last couple years my diet has been a big factor.” Although Hardee is currently at the top of his game, he admits this was not always the case. “There have been times I felt out of shape, and felt like I wish I had done things differently to prepare better for a meet…thus is life.” What sets him apart is how he has managed to find ways to improve. In the beginning of his career Hardee explained how he used to eat a lot of fast food, pre-packaged meals, sweets, and soft drinks. He needed food soon after he worked out and wasn’t really concerned with where it came from. The need to cure hunger was the guiding factor rather than proper nutrition.
